Halloween Day by Day: "Party Hard"

Ever have one of those nights where you just wanted to tell your neighbours to shut the fuck up...?

You're trying to sleep one night when a nearby party wakes you up. It's been going on every night... and you've had enough. Donning a mask, and grabbing your kitchen knife, you go to work... bringing sweet silence to the streets you stalk...

"Party Hard" by Pinoki Games is a simple, fun game to play. The mechanics are easy: kill people where you won't be seen, sabotage items for accidents. While it's a simple game to play, it's not an "easy" game to play in that you HAVE to think and strategize about how and when you're going to strike. The levels also get progressively harder and more challenging as well.

I like the story that's played out between the levels as well. It's not complicated or overly deep, but still adds to the game in a nice way.

The graphics are sprite based, and are a great throw back to the old school arcade games I used to play growing up. It's colourful as well- which kinda adds to the humour of the situation.

While it's not worth more than one play through, I would still suggest giving it a try. I'm putting it in "The Bad"

Zombie Bikers From Detroit (2001)

Over the years, it has been shown that with very little money, a skillful director can put together a high quality horror movie (John Carpenter's " Halloween ", " The Blair Witch Project ", and " Paranormal Activity " being a few of them). So, when it comes to determining a movie's quality, budget is no longer a negative... Ken and his mother have moved from Hell, Michigan to Grosse Pointe near Detroit. Upon his arrival, he meets the lovely Courtney, and her jealous suitor Chad. While Ken and Chad square off, an evil is growing within Detroit and slowly spreading towards Grosse Point... where Ken will meet his destiny ... This week's " What Movie Wednesday " winner was " Zombie Bikers From Detroit "- a low budget horror movie that feels like it was put together as a school project. High School, or College... I can't really tell. The premise- as stated in my little synopsis is interesting- as was the title. ...

Meridian: Kiss of the Beast (1990)

Sometimes, a director/producer will surprise you- such was the case during " Terrorpolooza 2012 " when I watched Charles Band's " Meridian: Kiss of the Beast " Catherine Bomarzini has come home after her father's death. Needing company, she asks Gina to stay with her. Soon, the two meet a wondering troupe of performers that Catherine invites to dinner at her castle. Catherine find herself pulled into a love triangle and an ancient curse that only she can break. After watching movies like " Evil Bong ", and " Demonic Toys ", I really wasn't expecting too much from this Charles Band movie- but I was pleasantly surprised by it. The story is actually quite interesting with lots of potential for eerie scenes, and character development. It's a nice twist on the classic " Beauty and the Beast " story. It's a bit slower than most of Band's other works, but moves smoothly and draws you with it. I have to ad...

"Re-Animator" Herbert West Figure (Reel Toys)

Horror fans enjoy surrounding themselves with items connected to their passion. It can be Halloween masks, movie posters, prop replicas or collectible figures. This week, I'm going to show you one of the collectible figures I've recently acquired- Reel Toys' " Re-Animator " Herbert West! The "bubble box" for the figure is pretty simple, but effective. I like the balance between the figure and the illustration on the front. The packaging also gives you a clear look at all the bibs and bobs that come with the figure. The illustration is great in my opinion. It stretches across the whole of the packaging- providing a nice background for the figure. The art style is nicely atmospheric and moody without going over the top. In fact, the backing card illustration is suitable for collecting on its own. The artist- Justin Osbourn, did a great job with it. The reverse of the backing card is also pretty good. There's a nice harmony between the font, ...
